Measurement Illustration
ZAngle
Determines the rotation around the Z axis and the angle of
the longer side of the bounding box relative to the X axis.
If Rotation is not enabled, the measurement returns 90.000
degrees.
Global X
*
Determines the X position of the center of the bounding
box that contains the part on the surface from which the part
was extracted.
Global Y
*
Determines the Y position of the center of the bounding
box that contains the part on the surface from which the part
was extracted.
If the part is extracted from a continuous surface, the Y
origin of that surface is at the encoder starting position.
Global Z Angle
*
Determines the rotation of the longer side of the bounding
box around the Z axis on the surface from which the part was
extracted.
If part matching is enabled, the returned value represents
the rotation of the part before part matching rotates it.
If Rotation is not enabled, the measurement returns 90.000
degrees.
*These measurements are mostly useful with parts extracted from a surface. For more
information on parts, see Part Detection on page 117.
Parameter Description
Rotation
A bounding box can be vertical or rotated. A vertical
bounding box provides the absolute position from which
the part's Position centroid measurements are referenced.
Check the Rotation setting to select rotated bounding box.
